Defence Mentor
Hi All,
5 weeks to go until the holidays! Or so the students keep reminding me 🙂
Defence club last week, we saw some new faces which was lovely to see, the students enjoyed making bracelets, blow up princess pictures & scratch cards.
We also had lots of boardgames out.... and lots of glitter!
I was unable to hold Defence club yesterday due to travelling to Melbourne for a DSM meeting, I was able to meet up with 9 other DSMs, and gain valuable knowledge on how they look after their students, and what they do day to day, I also had the opportunity to meet with Dee Ilic who is one of the family liaison officers, she has a wealth of knowledge and can be contacted via DMFS Melbourne.

Congratulations to one of our Defence Students who was awarded Student of the week. Well-deserved Ameilia.
I hope all the Defence parents received their Circus $5 entry voucher; I was kindly given a voucher for each defence student within the school.
